Sharding Architecture is a database partitioning technique that divides a blockchain network into smaller, more manageable segments called shards. Each shard can process transactions and smart contracts independently, thereby increasing the overall transaction throughput and scalability of the network. This approach aims to alleviate network congestion and improve performance.
Context
Sharding architecture is a critical component of scalability roadmaps for many major blockchains, including Ethereum. News coverage often details the progress of sharding implementations, the technical challenges involved in cross-shard communication, and the security considerations for maintaining network integrity across multiple shards. Discussions frequently address the timeline for full sharding deployment and its potential impact on transaction costs and network capacity.
A novel proof system combines fraud and data availability proofs, enabling scalable blockchains with robust light client security and reduced reliance on honest majorities.
